Long enough that I get looks sometimes from the coach as if they question the validity.

That shouldn’t be happening. Hopefully it’s just your conscience but wrong otherwise. Our coaches are great at “this not that” when it comes to dealing with injuries.

Knees are tough, especially big guy like you. Do you keep pushing it, because let’s face it, weight loss & strength are the only ways it will get better in the long run. Or do you ease off of it & risk losing gains while it heals.

Got to dial in the diet man. For every pound you lose you lose pounds of pressure of your knee joints at a time.

think you may be onto something as to why I'm losing interest. I'm not progressing anymore. I'm not losing much weight, my max lifts haven't gone up, and my cardio hasn't gotten better in some time.

So you never explained what you meant by intensity. If your workouts are intense & you are seeing no gains then you need to pinpoint the reason. Is it stuff at home or is it the programming?

Generally speaking, Having each coach program for a month is a red flag to me. Without knowing their background. Because we have coaches that are basically just there to get the class thru the workouts. Then we have L2 & L3 certified guys that are more advanced, that can write & understand programming. Not just stuff that is “weeeeeeee this sounds fun!!”
